Newville man injured in tractor crash

NEWVILLE&GT;&GT; A Newville man was flown to Penn State Hershey Medical Center in Hershey after his car collided Tuesday with a tractor on Shippensburg Road (Pa. 533).

Donald J. Davis, 78, suffered major injuries in the 10 a.m. crash, according to Pennsylvania State Police, Carlisle. He was taken to Carlisle Regional Medical Center, then flown to Hershey "due to medical concerns."

Davis was going north behind a tractor driven by Lester M. Wenger, 39, of Shippensburg, police said. He attempted to pass the tractor from the left lane, just as the tractor began making a left turn. The front of his 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt collided with the front left tire and driver's step of the tractor. The car went backwards. The rear of the car hit a fence post.
